Let's make the show more entertaining?

How can I make my work more entertaining?
How about playing a Sting tune or maybe an Abba song?
How about I use some visuals, yeah get the audience to look at something else besides my bent out of shape mouth and the black bags under my eyes.
Something colourful and bright.
Something fast and furious.
How about I include some kinesthetic activities in there just to make sure I hit all those wonderful multiple intelligences?
We can sit in a community circle and talk about all the love that is happening in the world around us.
we can hug and smile and then
we can make tabouli together, we can eat it too... together.
Now does that sound more entertaining? Does it?
Does it?

BUT

that's not it
It, has nothing to do with that
It, has nothing to do with anything.

I don't want to share with you my tabouli anymore.
I really don't
I want to share with you my rage.
I want to scream like a lunatic,and swear like a hysteric, I want to show you my rage.

now tell me this, if you had agreed to stop fighting with someone and had set the date for after the weekend, would you then spend the whole weekend beating up this someone?
Would you decide to spend the weekend dropping 200,000 cluster bombs on a city as a going away present?

Please humour me and entertain the idea just once, just for today, just for a minute or two?
